Pure Bliss

Bliss
 noun: Perfect happiness, great joy

Good morning world! This is what the dictionary defines as bliss. As I'm laying in my stupidly small twin bed in my college dorm room on a rainy, dreary Monday as I overdose on Vitamin C trying to shake this cold, I think about all the things that are on my bliss list. Happiness is obtained from those few simple things on that "bliss list" that lead to greater joy. Here are a few things I find bliss in:

1. Morning coffee
I honestly look forward to going to bed so I can wake up and make my coffee, is that bad? I think one might call that an addiction. But, I can stop I promise.

2. Disney movies
I may or may not have spent the entire weekend watching Disney movies including Monsters Inc. and Brave a total of two times each. Whoops. I was sick so I have an excuse.

3. Holding hands in public with my significant other
There is nothing quite better than walking through a crowded mall or into a restaurant holding the hand of the boy I love most. It's kind of nice to show him off.

4. Eating a home cooked meal
Okay, maybe the reason I go home every weekend is to get a little bit of my mom's cooking and sleep in a normal sized bed. It's a nice change from my college food plan.

5. Daisies
If you ever want to make me smile,white daisies will do the trick. Not roses. Ew roses.

6.  Pictures
I love taking pictures. Easton will be the first to tell you that, even though he cringes when I beg to take a picture, he is always a good sport about it. Being able to look back on those captured moments and recall the memories that that picture holds is priceless.

7. Fall
Fall is hands down the best season there is. The fresh, crisp air and the cruncy leaves under my boots. Scarves. Pumpkin spice. Changing leaves. Halloween. Nothing can beat October. I'm its biggest fan.

8. Breakfast food
Never ever would I turn down breakfast food. I would eat it for all three meals if I could. Who doesn't love a good Belgian waffle? Three words, KNEADERS FRENCH TOAST. AM I RIGHT?

9. A Good Book
Reading is my guilty pleasure. I'm not sure why I get so much grief for liking to read. I have gone through about 8 or 9 books in the past month. It's almost bad how easy it is for me to escape into a book and zone everything out. My idea of fun is going to Barnes and Noble.

10. $5 movie Tuesdays
If you have a Megaplex theatres near you, then you know what I'm talking about. 10/10 highly recommend.

11. Tan lines
Like I said, when I look out my window I'm seeing gray skies right now so I'm suffering from a little more than just a cold aka spring fever. I sure do miss tan lines. After a day in the sun, the lines from where your swimsuit kissed your skin is probably one of the most satisfying things.

12. New clothes
I will be the first to admit that retail therapy is indeed real.

13. A Heart to Heart Conversation
Every now and then, our hearts need a little attention too. Talking with friends, family, or the love of your life can bring great bliss from those meaningful conversations.

14. When Someone Tells You How Proud They Are Of You
I have gone out on a limb and out of my comfort zone with this blog. It is amazing to hear and feel the support I have from people. There is nothing better than hearing your parents say "I'm proud of you."  No matter how old I am, that will never get old.

15. Trying Something New
There is something quite exhilarating about trying a new thing whether it be going somewhere you've never been, trying a food you've never tasted, or stepping outside of your comfort zone to do something you've never done before.  Maybe try sushi next time you go out (yum) or maybe even learn how to ski if that's something you've never done. Its all about accomplishments.

16. Sunsets
Utah hands down has some of the prettiest sunsets. I can't even comprehend how beautiful God's creation can be. Sunsets are something so wonderful because its the end of a day reminding us how beautiful it is that we have made it through another one.

I wish everyone could take a step back from their busy Mondays or whatever day you're reading this on, and make a "bliss list". Try to deconstruct what it is that makes you happy. They are usually the simpler things in life.  That list of organic things can help you realize what you might be lacking when it comes to happiness. I hope everyone can live a life full of bliss like I am learning to do. Bliss is whatever brings you perfect happiness, great joy, or even just a smile to your face.

Happy Monday!

Choices

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm, you plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

Every decision we make in life leads to more choices and more decisions. Are these choices pre- determined from the minute we are born, or is it these choices that open new doors and lead us down new roads? Little do we know, the choices we make have more of an impact than we think. Those choices may affect others positively or negatively. I believe in the saying that everything happens for a reason, however I do not believe in destiny. I believe that any decision we make in life comes with at least two choices, if not more. If we choose choice A, then immediately a new path is carved for us. The same goes for path B. God has a plan for us, however sometimes we take a wrong turn on that path and do not end up where we wish to be. That is still a part of God's plan. That wrong turn can teach a lesson or make us stronger for the next set of choices we are to make. Nicolas Sparks did it again with the movie, The Choice. Of course like all of his work, it was a love story full of choices. All of the choices made in that movie affected someone else in the long run. So much of the time, we make split impulse decisions. We forget to consider what is coming next. But, God knows.

Right now, I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I feel stuck in the routine of things. I think this is inevitable at this time of year. There isn't many holidays or special events to look forward to. But why don't we look forward to just the simplicity and opportunity of tomorrow? Every choice we are making throughout the day and throughout our routine is getting us to tomorrow. So much of life is a routine. We wake up at the crack of dawn to the same sounding alarm, start getting ready in the same order, eat the same thing for breakfast, head off to the same route to work or school, count down the hours from 9-5 till we can head on the same route home, with the same traffic. To eat the same dinner, take a shower, get in bed and do it all over again in the morning. Its the American dream. But, its not. We are not robots, we are not monkeys. We are not put on this earth to complete the same boring, old routine every day. Day in and day out. We make a conscious choice every single day to make it a good day. You can determine how your day will go the second you wake up just by the attitude you present. Why wouldn't you make the choice to make it a good day? Because that choice leads to the decisions for the rest of the day. The choices we make lay the seed for what's to come. That routine is not something that has to happen. Get out and make it a different day. Even eating a different breakfast or taking a different road to work can make all the difference. You have the choice and that's the most powerful thing a human can hold.

10 Things Disney Movies Taught Me

To any of those people who know me, they know how Disney obsessed I am. I would go to Disneyland every single day if I could and I kick butt in Disney trivia. I will always have a love for Disney in my heart no mater how old I get. Disney is one of the greatest and most successful companies out there. I don't think I've ever seen a Disney movie that I don't love. However, if you dig a little deeper ( that was a pun from The Princess and the Frog for all you Disney lovers) you can uncover some important themes and messages that Disney encompasses in their films. Here are 10 valuable things that Walt Disney can teach you to make you a better person:

1.Peter Pan
 Peter Pan taught us that getting older is inevitable, but growing up is a choice. No matter how old you are, you still have your inner child in your heart. Never let go of that. All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust to take you back. And, you can always fly. No one can hold you down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf00mEe9EOs


2. Pocahontas
 Pocahontas taught us to always listen to your heart and always be true to yourself. Your true colors will shine through and show people who you are and what you're worth. Even if we have different colors, we still matter. She also told us not to judge. If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew. Willow, her grandmother, also taught us that sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. They taught us the importance of nature and diversity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvvZ1TEQRB8

3.Beauty and the Beast
 Belle taught us that true beauty comes from the inside, not what is on the outside. It is not find in ones looks, but in how one treats others. She warns us not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ0ODCMC6xs

4. Lilo and Stitch
 Lilo and Stitch taught us the family is one of the most important things in our lives. They taught us to love unconditionally and never leave our family behind. Family isn't defined by blood, but by love and acceptance. Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtsV4bWPHsY



5. An Extremely Goofy Movie
Goofy and Max taught us that good friends can form anywhere and at anytime and they are important. They also told us about the importance of relationships with our parents. Goofy taught us that when a challenge is presented to us, we can either conquer it or be conquered. They taught us to stand out among the crowd and don't conform to what people tell you is "cool", being yourself is what's cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HcqCFva-Gc

6. The Princess and the Frog
Tianna teaches us about the importance of hard work. No matter how many blows life deals you, you can still rely on your hard work and determination to make your dreams come true. She teaches us to never give up on your dreams and to have good work ethic. The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irEBOfv4Ug4

7. The Lion King
Mufasa taught us that we can't run from the past. We need to reflect on it for the lessons it has to offer us. Everything happens for a reason. Rafiki tells us, "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it. Through past mistakes, trials, and tribulations you can grow stronger. Simba, Timon, and Pumba also teach us to not take life so seriously. They teach us about a problem- free philosophy,  Hakuna Matata. They teach us not to spend so much time worrying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB5ceAruYrI


8. Frozen
Ana and Elsa taught us the importance of sisters. You will always have your sisters no matter what. They also taught us that as a woman, you do not need to depend on a man to be there for you and take care of you. They taught us the importance of independence. They teach us that our actions affect more people than just ourselves and the power of sacrifice for the ones you love. Elsa teaches us to let go of whatever might be holding us back or bottling up inside of us. Just let it go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MK7qz13bU

9. Mulan

Mulan teaches us the importance of girl power. Girls can do anything boys can in the same exact way, if not better. She teaches us gender equality. She teaches us to be strong, independent, and most importantly to be ourselves no matter what anyone might think. The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64


10. Finding Nemo
Dory teaches us that when life gets you down, there's nothing better to do than just keep swimming. A little determination goes a long way. You just have to keep swimming. Life gets hard and sometimes you don't want to go on, you might feel like its just too hard. Our favorite little Ellen fish told us to persevere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l_tFa4-5OM








Walt Disney my friend, you were a genius. Thanks for giving us a lifetime of lessons.

Purpose

It has been weird. I am still trying to get used to the whole blogger responsibility. I haven't posted in awhile because I have been suffering from a bad case of writers block. I don't want to just write about anything because that's what a diary is for. I want to write about something meaningful and inspirational that is worth the time that people take to read my stuff. Granted my biggest fan might be my dad who checks my site every single day to see if I have updated it. But hey, you've got to start somewhere. In all honesty, I have felt discouraged. I want my work to get out there and attract attention of people who need to hear my words of encouragement and inspiration. I am starting an Instagram page to put myself and my blog out there. I am a little nervous because I am scared of the feedback I might receive. I don't want to be disappointed when people don't care about my writing as much as I hoped they would. However, I know I will feel success even if I can just touch the life of one person with my little corner of the internet.

When I was a little girl, my answer to the question " What do you want to be when you grow up?" changed every time. At one point, it was an artist and I spent time with an art easel I got for Christmas. I played with that whim for awhile until I realized my drawings looked like potato people. Then, it moved on to Marine Biologist. I had a dream of becoming a trainer at Sea World and fantasized about swimming with dolphins. My grandma gave me a few books she had hoarded on marine biology and ocean life. I quickly became disinterested when I saw the anatomy and reproduction of whiles and realized I would have to move away from my family if I wanted to make that dream come true. My third grade self did not find that to be a novel concept. A year or two later, the answer to that question would have been an Astronomer. I grew a fascination for the last frontier and space exploration when I got a book from my elementary school book fair. Notice all of these whims usually come from my obsession with reading. The tales of my dreams of astronomy came to a tragic end when I found out Santa wasn't real. I asked for a telescope for Christmas, found it in the back of my mom's car, then woke up on Christmas morning to find it was from Santa. To my dismay, my dreams of Santa and being an Astronmer were crushed. We returned that stupid telescope a few days after Christmas. I believe the next dream on my list was a fashion designer. From middle school on I quickly became obsessed with fashion. It seemed like the dream job. I even started a sketch book of designs cut out of scrap book paper and stickers. I dreamed of living in New York and designing the things you see walking down the runway. Again, that dream vanished when I realized that its not an easy field to succeed in and again I would have to move away from my family. As high school came around, I avoided the thought and the question of what I wanted to be loomed in my mind as college grew closer. How could I make a decision when I changed my mind almost every year growing up? My junior year in high school, I participated in the preschool lab my school offered. I was immediately in love with the children and the aspect of teaching. When I finally made a decision on the college I was choosing to attending following graduation, I thought I had a pretty solid plan. I decided on Early Childhood Education and I even spoke with a counselor at UVU about the classes i was scheduled to take in the fall.  In that meeting, the advisor said a few words to me that halted all thoughts in my mind, "Do you really want to do this or is this just your default choice?" On the drive home, I thought to myself, could I really wake up every single day and be excited to teach? Not to mention, the pay is not ideal for the amount of work and dedication that goes into that. The answer was no. It takes a special kind of person to be that dedicated . That wasn't for me. I just didn't have an answer on what direction I wanted to take for my future.

To conclude those thoughts, I made the decision to just begin my freshman year of college taking general education requirements. I knew how badly I wanted to impact and inspire people to do something good in this world, I just couldn't quite put my finger on what I wanted to do. All i knew was that i wanted to be important. After a January trip to Park City to star gaze at the Sundance Film Festival, I had a revelation. I knew i somehow wanted to be involved with influential people in big amounts. I quickly jetted over to Google to do some research. This is when I came across Public Relations. It felt like an epiphany. This was exactly what I wanted to do. For my whole life, I have always had a strength in writing. I have kept journals since I learned how to write. I knew I could do something special and channel myself through my words. And that's what I hope to do.

Tonight, my wise old man told me that I inspired someone. Just that one person makes it all worth it. That is what this is all about. He told me that life is about finding purpose. Once you find that purpose, you can find something that you're good at. Only great things can come from then on. I truly think that God put me on this Earth to connect people through my eloquence with words. I don't know why I have never realized how powerful my words can be, but I know they are. Even just to one person is enough for me. I hope that whoever decided to read this lengthy post, ( you're amazing and I appreciate it more than you know) can use my words of encouragement to help them set out on a journey to find their purpose just as I did. Even if you might feel vunerable or like you don't matter, you do and every person in this world that finds their purpose will make it that much better. The world needs people like you.

BTW: If you took the time to read this then thank you. Thank you so much for sticking with me and supporting me even through my midnight rants. I feel incredibly inspired and thankful for the life I live and the opportunity I have to share my purpose. If you enjoy this, please help me get it out there to more people so I can help impact them as well. Follow my Instagram account, https://www.instagram.com/for_the_love_of_writing_/

Goodnight my loves.

Monday

There's something about waking up on a Monday morning. There is hope in my heart knowing it's a new week, a fresh start, and a chance to get things right again. There is something about a February morning where snow crusts the ground and it crunches under my shoes with every step. There is something about a Monday when we start our fastidious schedules almost like were programmed to do so. Like its clock work. I don't actually hate Monday's. I don't mind Monday's, for me Tuesday's are the ones I haven't quite learned to be friends with. There is just so much hope in a new day and a new week. It's a fresh start to make new goals and accomplish anything. Getting through a Monday is a well deserved accomplishment for some people. But, I love Mondays. I might not love Mondays more than I love Sunday's. Nothing can beat Sunday's. Sunday's are my friend. 

During this week, I will complete another week of my semester of school work. I will work more countless hours to earn a paycheck, but I will also do my best to live life. I woke up on Sunday morning feeling lost. I was feeling like there was something missing and I wasn't quite getting my dose of everything I needed. It's weird how our bodies need to stay balanced with a good diet, exercise, love, adventure and laughter. There's so many factors that go in to keeping that balance. Taking care of yourself is the first step. I have felt like I'm the healthiest I have been in awhile and healthy is a priceless adjective. In today's post, I wanted to talk about how to make your heart happy. There's so many little things that go into this big equation of happiness. Day to day I can think of minuscule things that contribute to the big picture of happiness 

- sunrises that look like fire and sunsets that look like cotton candy 

- Hearing a child's comment on something 

- My morning coffee 

- When I have a good hair day 

- When someone goes out of their way to talk to me 

- When my favorite song comes on the radio 

- Understanding my homework 

- Making someone laugh 

- Seeing someone stand up for a girl to sit down on the bus 

- Reading a good book 

- When my alarm goes off and I'm not tired 

Those are just some of the simple things you wouldn't realize that make your heart happy. especially on a Monday. It is incredibly important and crucial to listen to those little hearts on the inside of our chest. They usually know what's best for us with the help from our brains. It has come to my attention that I need more positivity in my life. I believe being positive leads to a longer, happier life.  Even if Monday's don't make you happy, maybe a a Wednesday or Friday will and think about all the little things in your life that equal the sum of happiness. Hope you all make it a good Monday! 

You've Got a Friend in Me

I have never been the girl with a lot of friends. I have always thought of myself as a nice, genuine, sentimental, and caring person. I have battled a constant struggle over why I could never find a best friend that would just stay. A best friend is something I have always yearned for in my life. It has always been that missing piece. Throughout high school, I never fit in with a specific "group" that I could call my own. I remember crying myself to sleep almost every night for months because I wondered what was wrong with me. Why was I so unlovable when it came to friends? And when I did have a few girls that I could stake claims on, it was me always begging and pleading with them to want to do things with me. The friendship I gave was never reciprocated. I remember being jealous of my sister who had friends and then some. Most of my weekends were spent with Easton or my mom and I ate most of my lunches in high school by myself in the car. I know that might come as a surprise to some people that it was that hard for me to make friends, but I wasn't just looking for anyone. I wanted a best friend that I could laugh with, someone that I could talk to about anything without any judgements, someone who would go out of their way for me no matter what, and someone who thought of me as their best friend too. I was always comparing to the two best friends I had all through middle school. I still look back and think about how good of friends they were and what good times we had and it makes me sad to know they aren't in my life anymore and probably never will be. There have been various other friends over the years, but I never got the same back from them. They never considered me their best friends. My mom would always tell me that I would make new friends. She didn't understand that everyone already had a best friend. Even she still has her best friends in her life from junior high and high school. I had come to the terms and acceptance that I was okay with myself and I was okay with spending time with my family, my boyfriend ( I was even jealous of him), and myself. I came to love myself in this process.

Everything changed when I graduated high school and moved on to college. I moved into an apartment with five other girls that I would spend at least the next year with. This was a game changer. These "forced" friends as I call it when I'm joking around were about to change my life. I call them that because you kind of don't really have a choice in becoming friends with your roommates, but that choice to me was such a blessing in disguise. It is so much fun to be able to come home and have a girl friend there to talk to about your day. Some of the best times have been laughing on those puke brown couches in our little living room. I finally have girls that I can call my best friends so shoutout to apartment 1151 for placing us together. I have friends that are thoughtful, caring, and would stand up for anyone of us including myself. They do such thoughtful things from leaving candy on our beds to making each of our birthdays special and are constantly helping each other. I can't say that anyone of them is selfish and we are always looking out for one another. So thank you Lauren, Maddy, Summer, Abbie, and Shatara for being the best roommates/ friends that  I have ever had in my life. Thank you for being a blessing in disguise and always making me laugh.

I just want to share something that meant so much to me that Abbie did. One of our favorite fashion bloggers is visiting Utah from New York. She was having a meet and greet in Provo and I wasn't able to make it. So Abbie sent me the video below and it's safe to say I cried. I am so lucky to have such a good friend. Thanks for sharing your love of fashion bloggers, Disneyland, and Krispy Kreme donuts and always thinking of me AD. To any of you out there that feel lonely or unlovable because you don't have a good group of friends. You will find them I promise. I hope my story gives you hope. Friends are special and the best ones are hard to come by and roommates are a God sent!

Here's the link to my Facebook for the video. For any of you who don't know, this is a fashion blogger Amber Fillerup Clark. She's amazing and thank you for the shoutout!!! I'm totally fan girling right now. Hope you all have an awesome Super Bowl weekend because according to Americans, that's a holiday.

With Love

This is about the time of year where I just want to run away. I'm sick of school, I'm sick of work, I'm sick of waking up before the sun even rises, and I'm sick of this blasted, winter weather. I am exuberantly happy that January is finally over, and Puxataney Phil said we're going to have an early spring so I sure hope he's right for the sake of my winter time blues. I am ready to just start wearing shorts and swimsuits to protest this winter 2.0. I may or may not have called in sick to work today because some days you just can't do it. Some days you just feel defeated. I feel like its been Week: 10 Sydney: 0. Today is one of those days. Right now, the only thing on my mind is the time of year where love is in the air. I know Valentine's Day seems to have a bad rep if you're a single person, however I am in love so this is one of the best times of the year for me and it's a nice change from our drab friend January.

In my years, which are not really that many in the scheme of things, I have learned a lot about love. I have learned that there are good and bad kinds of love. There are different kinds of love. There is the love for your mom which is something that builds stronger with time. You realize how much you love your mom when she's there for you when a boy breaks your heart, when she's there for you when you don't want to go to the doctor's alone, and when she is there for you when you want your favorite home cooked meal. There is the love for your best friend. You realize how much you love your best friend when you're laughing over a joke that only you two would understand. There is love for your siblings, sisters especially. You realize you love sisters when you need new clothes, but don't want to buy them, when you're fighting with your parents and need someone who relates, and when you're having bad dreams and end up in their bed. There is love for your dad.  You realize you love your dad when he sprays the invisible monster spray in your closet and under your bed when you're little, when he threatens to bring out his gun when a boy comes over, and when he makes those imfamous dad jokes that never get old. There is a love for yourself. This love might be the hardest of all to come by. You realize you love yourself when you wake up everyday feeling comfortable in your own skin, when you feel happy with where life is taking you, and when you feel confident enough to leave the house with no makeup, unkept hair, and morning breath. And finally, there is a love for that boy that we all hope to find sometime in our life.  I grew up watching Disney movies, the princesses' especially. I have had the dream of finding my prince charming since the minute I watched Aurora dance with Prince Phillip in the woods.

Love is weird. You find someone that fits with every part of you; every part of your life, your body, and your mind. When your hands fit perfectly in each others and when your hugs feel like the missing puzzle piece in a 1000 piece puzzle. You will know you are in love when every single reminder of it takes you back to a moment in time with that special person. You will know you're in love when something happens to you in your day, and the first person you want to tell is him. You will know your in love when you wake up to a bed- headed boy with crust in his eyes and morning breath and you still want nothing more than to never stop kissing them. I am not a big believer in soul mates, however I believe when you are meant to be with someone you will know. Everything will align and everything will feel right. I know I am in love because when I think of pancakes and coffee on a Sunday morning, I think of Easton. When I think of walking a dog in the park, I think of Easton. When I think of creating a home, I think of Easton. When I think of traveling the world, I think of Easton. When I think about those late night Del Taco runs on Friday nights to get my a churro to adhere to my cravings, I think about how no one else would do that for me but Easton. When I think about the nights where he elbows me in the face while he's asleep, but then pulls me in for cuddles I can't help but think that something so simple can be so wonderful. You will know you're in love when the most simple things in life excite you to no end because it involves that other person. Love is a beautiful and complicated thing. I could go on and on about all the people in my life and how much I love about them. Love is something that is supposed to be shared and it deserves to be. So during this month, think about all the things you love. Trust me, your list will go on for miles. Happy February all!!

P.S: If you noticed, I changed the title of my blog all together. I decided to go in another direction and close in on the purpose of this blog, and it's just that. The love of writing. I want this to purpose as a portfolio and as something that can positively impact someone, anyone out there. I want to make a difference.

Words from Mr. McGraw

As I got home from my busy day and started on the enormous list of homework on my to do list, I turned on Pandora to help me diligently get through what I needed to do for the next morning. Right in a moment where I felt like giving up and just going to sleep and avoiding all responsibility, I heard a song from my favorite singer Tim McGraw. The song immediately caught my preoccupied attention, and I actually listened to the lyrics which I usually don't when I don't know the song. Like I said, I stopped everything I was doing to listen to this song cause I had never heard it before. It was titled "Humble and Kind". In his song, he talks about no matter what little thing in life seems like such a chore, do it. Do it for your mom. Do it for your family. Do it for yourself. Because in the end, those little things are what matter the most. He says he knows that we all have mountains to climb, but we can't forget to be humble and kind. When life rewards us with what we have been working so hard for, remember to turn around and still stay humble and kind. Tim McGraw you've really done it this time. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love country music but this song in particular just came to me at the exact time I needed it.

Sometimes I am bitter. Sometimes I wake up and think "Why do I have to do it today?" "Why do I have to complete the same old routine?" Truth is, I am so blessed with the life I live. We can not take for granted the love life gives to us. No matter how bad my day might seem or how alone or bad I'm feeling about myself, I need to remember the reminder that Tim McGraw gave me tonight. Stay humble and kind.   Even if you don't like country, listen to this song. Thanks for giving me a reminder that life is precious Tim McGraw.
